Do Hydroponic Microgreens Need Fertilizer

Do Microgreens Need Fertilizer? The simple answer is no; it is not necessary to provide fertilizer to microgreens when they are growing in high-quality soil. This is because the soil itself will possess enough nutrients to keep microgreens growing strong and healthy.

Do microgreens need to be fertilized?

Nutrient solution: Microgreens can germinate without any fertilizer application. However, providing mineral nutrients to microgreens will increase yields. Providing 75 to 150 ppm N from a complete, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer will enhance growth, though the concentration to use depends on your production system.

What fertilizer is best for microgreens?

We suggest using either Azomite, a trace mineral fertilizer, or a water-soluble fertilizer such as, FloraGro. Both provide essential nutrients to your seedlings—and in this case, your microgreens—but they are applied using different methods.
